I finally cracked mana farming at around level 200 range for CS.
I will post first my setup (note, this is after I picked up 64 levels). I could have done this 10-20 levels earlier, but finally figured it out at level 226.
First picture is my exact skill set up for the run, note you need to subtract 64*7*7 I believe to get the mana starting amount I had not including my talisman bonuses.
In order to post pics, though, I need help, as I guess you can't upload pics, but only link URLs, so how can I post my snips somewhere to then link to here?
Yes, that would have helped, I will post tomorrow.
I did a second run, and instead of 64 million, nailed 300+ million... and could have gone to 400-500, but didn't have time to play endurance forever.
So hope this helps low levels who are ready to crack out of grinding... it was nice to go from 226 to 490 in two battles, and again, probably could have gone all the way to 550-600ish had I had the time.
Here is the setup for my 300 million exp run, again I could have done this at level 226 or so, but I was 290, so had a bit more starting mana, but I did zero changes to my skill set up to the previous run. I did try another field to reduce boredom.
Aha. I think I know how to do it. Click the "Image" button that appears (between "Link" and "Quote" and enter the URL of the image. Make sure you use the direct link.
If you've already done all that, I'm not really sure what the issue is.
